About
Laurent Salomon is a pioneering urological surgeon whose career has been defined by his groundbreaking contributions to minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery, particularly in the treatment of prostate cancer. As a key figure in the early adoption and development of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, Salomon was among the first surgeons in the world to perform and report robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, with his landmark 2000 case report and subsequent 2001 publications — now collectively accumulating over 700 citations — establishing the clinical viability of remote-controlled robotic surgery. His work helped lay the technical and scientific foundation for what has since become the dominant surgical approach to prostate cancer worldwide. Beyond prostatectomy, Salomon extended robotic innovation into organ transplantation, co-authoring one of the earliest reports on robotic-assisted kidney transplantation (167 citations). His subsequent research refined extraperitoneal robotic approaches, evaluated patient safety outcomes including thromboembolic risk, and rigorously assessed the "trifecta" of continence, potency, and cancer control. With a body of work spanning nearly 1,500 total citations, Salomon's career represents a defining chapter in the transformation of urology from open surgery to precision, minimally invasive intervention.
